This pudding is a dainty little treat. If you're trying to find dairy alternatives to yogurt but are craving something creamy as a breakfast, snack, or dessert, this is a great replacement. Try it with any type of berry that tickles your fancy and be prepared to savor!

In the morning, give it a stir/shake and check texture. If its too thick, add a little more almond milk.

The texture will resemble a teeny-pearled tapioca pudding. Serve and enjoy!
